Meteor shower that happened this morning. I was very lucky as I was originally pointing the camera in the wrong direction.

My best Perseid meteor from last night. I did catch one or two other feint ones, which just goes to show never delete anything from your camera until you've seen it on the computer screen! Clearer skies forecast tonight so fingers crossed for some more!

I removed almost all stars from this photo to better see a meteor as it passed through the bowl of the Big Dipper and burned up.
This photo was from the Eta Aquarid meteor shower in May, 2010.
If you can see the binary stars in the handle of the dipper at night, you have very good eyesight.

I found the info for the color of a meteor.

This was taken during on Wednesday, December the 13th, during the Geminid meteor shower. Unfortunately and surprisingly I did not capture a single meteor in this shot. Every time that I would turn my camera to take a shot a meteor would fall in the opposite part of the sky. Very frustrating.
Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone! =)

Taken 7 Nov 22 with GoPro in RAW mode. While waiting for the start of the total lunar eclipse, I was hoping to catch a bright Taurid meteor. The characteristic multiple explosions and white color says this is a Taurid. Exposure 30s, iso 800. Meteor was probably -2 magnitude under a very bright full moon.
A much brighter Taurid occurred a bit later: www.flickr.com/photos/cloud_spirit/52489528085

Hello World! After what's seems to be a lifetime, have finally moved into new home and got connected - has taken since April which is why I've hardly posted anything for past few months...and started new job as well for more complications.
Anyway, here now in Wiltshire - one of first pictures at new abode was of a meteor - hope this is first of many.....

Gloster Meteor F.8 VZ467 (G METE) at the 1999 Kemble Air Show, it was exported to Australia in 2000 becoming VH MBX, belonging to Temora Aviation now in RAAF marks as A77-851 in flying condition.
I was taking some untracked long exposure landscape shots when this meteor flew over at a low angle. It got red hot, then burned up in the atmosphere.
I was only able to get one long meteor image before my lens dewed up. I was too lazy to put on my lens warmer.
8 (10 second) photographs stacked into one final image.
I ran my All Sky camera last night but picked up very little until the Moon set. Also had problems with neighbours night light on the right hand side of the image.
Overall very useful learning points - should have set program only to start running after Moonset and should have tilted camera dome away from the night light.
Confident this is a meteor as it shows a range of colours, has sharp tips and a wider flare section in the middle. Its also not visible either the preceding or following frames.
At first glance, the most intense burst of meteors appeared to be 3-4 of them around 3:30 am, shortly before my two batteries ran out of power.
I don't have time to separate the meteors from the stars (and StarStaX has stopped working on my desktop PC), but you get the gist of it.
Next up: the Leonid meteor shower in November, then the Geminid meteor shower in December.
Not a meteor. It's a 2 1/2 inch solid shot cannon ball from the Civil War. My brother's and I each inherited one from our dad.

In my attempt to capture some Leonids shower members, I managed to snag this bright non-member at 8:48PM over the north-northeast horizon.
While I did record a few Leonids, they were faint.
Spaceweather.com is reporting a potential brief surge in activity on Nov. 19th, producing an outburst of 50 to 200 meteors per hour. Its timing favors observers in the eastern half of North America, who should be alert for meteor activity this Saturday morning between 1:00 and 1:30 am EST.
An "almost" throw away from my Milky Way session of yesterday morning, due to the clouds. I thought I'd post this because of the meteor pair on the far right. I've never seen a pair before, nor seen any come absolutely straight down. I'd like some more!

Hallett Hill
South Australia
This morning's self alarm went off at 2am. I woke and figured that I could drive a long way for dawn so I picked the wind farms at Hallett Hill north of Burra (which I had never visited before). I had planned to shoot some stars possibly with the meteor showers in the sky but cloud cover prevented that. Dawn was ominous and lit only by a slight red tinge in the west which made a good backdrop for these massive turbines. The are 60-80m high as you can see from the horses in the foreground.
I visited this meteorite impact crater on the way back home from the trip to the Petrified Forrest. It was very windy that day, and keeping a hat on my head was almost impossible.
I must say that the crater made a huge impression on me - I never thought it was so vast.
A truly remarkable, unique placeā¦
Thanks a lot for your views, comments and favs :-)
Shoofly Plant (Nicandra physalodes) seed pod cages at sunset. This is the most fascinating plant - in the Solanaceae (Nightshade) family with beautiful purple flowers and fabulous seeds that seem to be suspended in intricately veined "cages."
A single meteor streaks across the sky at approximately 22 miles/second. The track of this meteor's points to the source, which is the Gemini constellation. This meteor shower shares an orbit with the asteroid (3200 Phaethon).
